    School Rhyme - Going to market.
    One child takes the place of an old woman, and rest follow her saying
    Old woman going
    to the market
    to buy.
    And every time they say this she has to follow them. Then she will go into the shop and she will say " a pound of tea" and they will say "that's for me". Then she will say eight bottles of castor oil and they will say "that's for you". Then she will run after them and catch them and pretend that she is giving them the caster oil.
